Chapter 59 · A Brahmin of Pratishthana
चित्रा नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥देशे पुण्यतमे देवि प्रतिष्ठानपुरे तथा ॥ब्राह्मणो वेदविभ्रष्टस्तत्र वासमकारयत् ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: O Goddess, in a most holy land, in the town of Pratishthana, a brahmin lived. He had fallen from the Vedas.
Classical view, not medical advice.
सुरामांसस्य वै भोक्ता नित्यं मत्स्यामिषस्य च ॥
He always took wine, meat and fish. He spent his money on sinful acts, day after day, O wide-eyed one.
तस्य स्त्री परमानाम्नी भ्रष्टा चातीव सुन्दरी ॥
His wife was named Parama. She was loose in conduct and very beautiful. She always loved other men. She had no fear and cheated her husband.
एवं सर्वं वयो यातं तयोर्मृत्युरभूत्किल ॥
So their whole life passed, and they both died. They died at the holy Ganga, honoured by gods and gandharvas (heavenly singers).
